Pro tempore

For today's editorial, Demolition Job.

When video footage and images surfaced earlier this month showing Senator Jinggoy Estrada's Senate office stripped bare before its turnover to incoming Senate President Pro Tempore Vicente Sotto III, the initial sense of incredulity that many in the public felt quickly turned into indignation.

Why would any senator of the land order his staff to remove floor tiles, wall paneling, light fixtures, wall sockets, a sink, and a toilet bowl, leaving the room looking like an unfinished construction site before its turnover to its next designated occupant? Estrada's office confirmed that the senator, who is now in jail awaiting trial for plunder, had directed the staff to strip and transfer the items.

Statements from Estrada and his camp said the fixtures, furnishings, and materials installed in the vacated office had been bought or paid for using personal funds or his office budget during his tenure.
